[QUOTE="jungleboy, post: 871496, member: 77691"] [B]Day 9: Tomar to Heart Way Pilgrim House (near Vila Verde, ~21km)[/B] Today was the best day so far! We set out at about 7:30am from Tomar in surprisingly chilly conditions (12 degrees Celsius) even though another hot day awaited us. From the outskirts of Tomar there are several possibilities; a recent sign pointed one way during good weather and another way during rain (due to possible flooding). We took the good weather option and soon found ourselves in the first ‘real’ (non-plantation) forest of this camino which was very pleasant. Shortly after we walked among eucalyptus trees and olive groves and picked some perfectly ripe figs for a mid-morning snack.

The local authorities in Ferreira do Zêzere have put a lot of effort recently into way marking and information signage. Even though the left fork was the most direct route for where we were going, we took the right fork because it seemed a lot more interesting. We soon reached a Templar dam, a perfect spot for a picnic lunch, and later saw two Visigothic graves, all of which are well signed and easy to find. These historic places were the biggest surprise of the camino so far because I’ve never seen mention of them anywhere.

Instead we’re at the Heart Way Pilgrim House near Vila Verde / Areias and it’s a really cool place with hammocks, sangria and cosy rooms. [/QUOTE]
